The FBI reported that they had evidence that many other student e-mail accounts had been stolen at the time.

Link please? Thanks.

See post above. The Washington Post article was just one of the sources that said the same thing.

There were many articles that came out in the days immediately following the video that were since found to be poorly researched, as many of us complained. Some has been directly proved wrong, some has been met with conflicting information. Some was based on assumption based on hearsay.

And some of these questions are still very, very compelling.

In the case of the e-mail, Ashcroft's direct words made to clear up the confusion would seem to be more trustworthy of evidence than the previous anonymous gov't sources quoting Nick's father's interpretation of what Nick told him two years ago.

Ashcroft could easily be covering up something. It could have happened the way Nick's dad said.

On the other hand, it would make sense that Nick simply remembered that the time he lent his laptop to someone on a bus was likely when his password was stolen, and since he was being asked how a terrorist got it, he assumed it was a terrorist on the bus.
